pollicians, democrats or radicals, are not to be trosted; nor can those enthusiastic sappers and miners whose patriotism is limited to calls for money be relied upon; certsinly not when they have nothing but vagu® conjectures and delusive buyes and promises to give in ex- change. The Viceroy and the Sultan. From a telegram which we printed yester- day it appears that the Viceroy bas assumed @ somewhat, daring attitude towards bis liege lord, the Sultan of Turkey. According to custom the Sultan has called upon Faypt to yleld its tribute towards defraying the expenses incurred by the Cretan insurrection, The Viceroy has retused. It is little likely that the Sultan will do anything in present circum- stances to compel the payment. The intelli- gence is valuable chiefly as it shows how rotien is the condition of Turkish rule. When the most Mohammedan of all the Turkish provinces is taking such a course the end can- not be far off. ‘The Proposed Obstruction te Travel on Broadway. The proposition of Mayor Hoffman to place the new Post Office at the lower end of the Park, where no person wants it and where everybody is unwilling it should be, is likely to be upset by the action of the Common Council and the State Legislature. Besides the unwarrantable sacrifice of a valuable piece of city property at one-sixth of its appraised value, which the nice little job contemplates, the location of the Post Office on the proposed site would increase the existing crowding and confusion to such a degree that Broadway, below Ann street, would be impassable, all travel would be suspended during the busiest hours of the day, and property and trade in the lower part of the city would suffer material injury. The Common Council and the Legisla- tare both propose to reconsider their action authorizing the sale of the property. The com- mittée of the Common Council have invited ‘those who have objections to urge against the public outrage to attend to-day at the City Hall and make their statements; but this is entirely unnecessary, If the people who are opposed to the Hotfman scheme should all attend the meeting of the committee the Park would not be large enough to hold them. Every business man in the lower part of the city and all who have occasion to travel up and down Broadway would be there to protest againstit, 1i would be well for the people to move in the matier ani to hoid a mass meeting to protest ‘agains! the job; but the Commou Council and ihe Legislature should not wait for such demonstrations. They are well aware of the mischievous and improper character of the scheme, and should put astop to it at once, Britist Columbia. We observe that the people of Brilish Colum- bia propose to hold a public meeting for the purpose of petilioning for the admission of the colony into the Confederation of British North America. This Territory has an esti- mated population of about twenty thou- sand souls. It is, therefore, not of much con- requence to the Union, and is separated from the northeast portion or bulk of that conted- eration by a vast distance. It is not yeograph- ically situated for union with the Canadas and the maritime provinces. In fact, it would take sixty days for its representatives to reach the Confederate Legislature ; and, in the event of any trouble with this country, British Colum- bia would very soon be taken into a better ly and politically) union tian ~ that of the “Dominion of Canada.” ka SRI ‘The War in Crete. The losses of the Egyptian contingent in the war with the Cretans are reported at twelve thousand men out of twenty-four thousand, or one half. This may be a little exaggerated, for it comes from a Grecian source ; but such a loss is quite possible. The Egyptian army is according to the French system, by Lieutenant Colonel Mircher and a staff of other French officers. At a recent review at Cairo the Viceroy highly praised the organization and drill of his troops effected by this staff of French officers. In spite of their drill, how- ever, the Egyptians were defeated by the Cre- tana in actions on broken or covered ground. AMUSEMENTS. Theatre Francais. A ra bran us emai eg entre Sree or us com: hore.

Mr. Williams, pastor of the church, at about half-past eight o'clock, and spoke until shortly after nine, bis discourse being a somewhat disconnect one, having more reference to the con- dition of the colored people and thelr assumed rights than to the subject announced at the opening. What the speaker did have to say with none to the President ‘® reiteration of the charges preferred ies, that he had betrayed the people in usutper. The lecturer referred to Jobneon’s policy of reconstruction, and con- Mr. sidered it, indeed, unfortunate for the country that the band of an assassin had made him President. He spoke in favor of the Gongressional plan, which he regarded asthe “people's policy,” and remarked that Congress must be sustained in the efforts to carry \tout. In re- gard to the colored people, Ampleman demanded that they should be granted impartial suffrage, and insisted that they should work sameoariniiy cual thon, ebeained it.

Tws Hann Be or Sranpanp og AMURICAN Puoxograruy. Iv Frve Paxts, By Andrew J. Graham This ia the title of a complete and thorough treatise on short band writing by one of the most successful! and enthusiastic instructors of the art, As unfolded by Mr. Graham it has borne favorably the test of an effectual trial by many expert, practical reporters in the country, and in the achool room and academy it has been found unexceptionably adapted to the pur- pose, Full, concise and philesopbical in iis de- velopment of the theory of writing by sound, admirable in. its arrangement and replete with improvements and refinements on the art as previonsly defined, it affords the learner a safe means of obtaining ‘a speed in reporting at least one-fourth greater than can be acquired by any other method. It has the advantage also of leading step by step, clearly and intelligibiy, even to the inexperienced learner, over all those phono- graphic forms and principles which comprise the ‘cor- responding style” of phanography—the basis of the reporting style—whore the consonant outlines are all expressed and the vowel signs inserted. Several of tho most rapid and accurate short band writers report ver- batim by this system alone, omitting the vocalization of phonographs, but indicating it by posi- tions, So far from embarrassing the student by any first impressions, which, it is alleged, are difficult to remove in the subsequent mastering of the reporting style, it yields him practice in the spelling out Phonographically of terms, which it is frequently neces- sary for him to do, where unusual words or proper names are employed by the speaker. An accurate, swift, relia- ble hand in this particular is often essential to the re- porter. The old order of the vowel scale is adhered to, for the reason that it has been found by many years of Practice to be perfectly adequate to the purpose, while the inverted scale bas not borne a sufficient testing to establish its decided superiority. A comparison of this work with that of J. E. Munson reveals the fact that the latter is objectionable in these two particulars; and in addition, that most of what is excellent in bis work has been compiled from the book under consideration, many of the rules having been copied almost word for word, and the principles of phraseograpby and many of the abbreviations, which were the exclusive product of Mr. Grabam’s thought and research, having been appro) ated without due credit. We can heartily recommend “The Hand Book of Standard or American Phonography”” as the clearest, most scientific and fullest of the exposi- tions of the short-hand art, and valuable and ample for the purposes of a teacher, or of a pupil of ordinary intel- ligence, unaided by instruction, BALL OF THE AMERICUS CLUB. The Acadmy of Music was last night transformed into a crowded temple devoted to Terpsictore, the occasion which led to this collecting of the devotees of the festive dance being the annual ball given by the Americus Club. ‘The reunions of the members and friends of this well known club have always been pre-eminent for the ecle- gance and brilliancy by which they are characterized, as well as by the sclectness of tho assembly, and last nicht was no exception to this rule, From nine o’clotk till twelve, handsomely dressed ladics and gentlemen oxquisites, the ta, 8 Dover Ghaeing stream promod ap stairways leasing io the ballroom, either to of th the foyous.
